5 comments about TOPO! National Geographic USGS Topographic Maps, Wyoming.
- I now have their latest TOPO! 4.5, but cannot use it with my California State series maps. I've been exchanging e-mails with their customer support and they basically just recycle cut and paste's from their web site. At first I took their instructions (often contradictory) seriously and did everything they said, but none of it works. To make sure I tried it on a different computer. No go. The software often hangs up for long time, so anything you try kills a lot of time. I think it is just a very badly written code with no backward compatibility. I'm going to start looking for another product.
- With TOPO, it makes a big difference if you copy the maps from the CDs to your hard drive. That results in a much faster and better experience. Directions for copying the maps to your hard drive are on the Topo web site. Some reviewers do not realize that.
The digital maps are an extremely good value compared to paper maps!! Live Map Updates is a feature of version 4. You can download the current maps and street overlays for the quads you are interested in! And that is free.
I have used versions 2, 3, and 4 of this product. Version 2 was excellent. Versions 3 and 4 are incremental improvements. On Amazon, it isn't always clear which version you are buying. Go by the dates -- version 4 was released in 2006.
The software is excellent. My only complaint is that it is a bit complicated to install. I don't think it has ever crashed on me. I use it a lot, and discover new features all the time. It is not hard to learn. GPS support is great, in my experience.
- Do not waste your money on this horrible software. Even on a 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM MacBook Pro, it staggers to run. It takes an average of 20 seconds just to change zoom levels and pans incredibly slowly. Try drawing a route and half the time the whole thing freezes and crashes and you have to start over. I'll say it again - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
- TOPO! has the worst user interface ever created. It doesn't follow the standard user interface designed by Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft.
- There's no hand tool to move around the map--rather you have to move your cursor to the edge of the screen and click to push the map around. Hard to control and creates lots of cursor movement
- The tool to draw routes is hard to control
- this product (CA version) is listed for $149 at Amazon and at $99 at the National Geographic website and at REI. What's up with that? 50% over the MSRP?

4 comments about iGage All Topo Maps CD Rom (Oregon).
- Awesome product.
The ability to see individual topo sheets is very useful, as is the ability to create custom seamed maps. Dowloads of GPS waypoints to the computer, and the upload of GPS points fron the computer to the GPS unit is easy. Customer support is phenomenal! They resopond quickly and personally answer your questions and even take recommendations on what might be nice additions for future updates (such as a Baja map set, or the addition of other datums besides NAD27)I can't say enough about this product! The best mapping software out there
- This version is VERY OLD! The maps are from 1985 and do NOT include trail data. Get the Trails Illustrated maps instead, you'll be MUCH better off!
- Allows you to export tif images with GIS/CAD world files for easy upload into Programs such as Petra. Downside is that if you are looking at a large area, you have to continuously change out disks (there are 5 or 6 of them).
- The maps were useful and plenty detailed, however not all of them were current or up to date. It served as a starting point, however, I still had to purchase more current versions of the areas I needed from BLM and USGS

5 comments about GARMIN 010-10775-01 Saversguide Membership Card & Secure Digital Card.
- savings dont match AAA or internet. not woth the price. I did buy it but havent used it after 3000 miles
- I used this product on a trip through western Arkansas, north and central Louisiana, and Houston TX. It was useless!
- This product freezes up the Garmin every time I try using it. I've tried starting the Garmin first and then inserting the card, and I've tried inserting the card first and then starting the Garmin. It doesn't work either way. When I called customer service, I learned that they are not open on the weekend, so I couldn't get a solution to the problem.
- I ordered the SaversGuide at the same time I ordered my nuvi 880, received both items promptly. I was disappointed in that the SaversGuide software was on a regular SD memory card. Unfortunately, the slot in the nuvi 880 only accepts a MicroSD card. The return process was extremely easy, and my account was promptly credited with the return.
If the SaversGuide was available on a MicroSD card, I would order one.
NOTE: While the online information indicates the card is good for one year, the one I got had an expiration date of July 31, 2009, only ten months from the date I ordered it.
- I don't blame Garmin, but many of the merchants don't honor this card. The 4 or 5 places I visited while traveling already had specials that were better than the ones listed with this membership. Several of them looked at the card and thought it was some kind of hoax.
